  WHEREAS,  The  arts, in whatever form depicted, are central to human
expression; they are truly a universal language and  their  contribution
to  the  development  of  friendship and understanding among all peoples
cannot be underestimated; and

  WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to  recognize  and
commend  those musical organizations that have brought entertainment and

  WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and  in  full  accord  with  its
long-standing  traditions,  this  Legislative  Body  is  justly proud to
commend the Southampton  String  Orchestra  upon  the  occasion  of  its
participation in Music In Our Schools Month; and

  WHEREAS,  The  administrators  of  the Southampton Union Free School
District  are  committed  to  actively   promoting   and   nurturing   a
comprehensive music program for all the students of the district; and

  WHEREAS,  Those  same  administrators have been supportive, actively
encouraging music program staff to  devote  their  time  and  energy  to
developing the talents of their students; and

  WHEREAS,   The   String   Orchestra   of  Southampton  High  School,
Southampton, New York, comprised of students of the highest musical  and
academic caliber, will be performing on Thursday, March 19, 2020, at the
Empire  State  Plaza in Albany, New York, in celebration of Music In Our
Schools Month; and

  WHEREAS, Talent, dedication, and countless hours  of  practice  have
made  the  String  Orchestra  of Southampton High School the outstanding
ensemble it is today; and

  WHEREAS, Skillfully led by Director Nancy Caine,  the  members  work
hard  at  their  music  rehearsals,  classroom  assignments and practice
sessions, fully aware that the  amount  of  time  and  energy  they  are
willing to expend directly affects the quality of their music; and

  WHEREAS,  The Southampton String Orchestra members, along with their
parents  and  teachers,  can  be  justifiably  proud  of  their  musical
achievements and their participation in Music In Our Schools Month; now,
therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this  Legislative Body extend a warm welcome to the
